Gravity & Other Myths

Gravity & Other Myths
is outdoor circus where the
grandeur and dynamic nature of space meets the extreme and
spectacular performance world of new circus!

Gravity and Other Myths will
please existing fans and draw in new ones.
Acts using fire, trapeze,
web, hula hoops, dance and object animation draw inspiration from
astronomy.

From the geometry of heavenly bodies to
super nova
explosions, from quantum physics to Maori astronomy, this is a show
that leaves audiences breathless in amazement!

Gravity and Other Myths premiered as part of Wellington
Fringe 07 at
Queens Wharf, and then toured to Christchurch for the International
Buskers Festival in 2008 before a triumphant return to
Wellington and Civic Square for the Summer City Festival.

“The
ability of the cast was unquestioned, as was their air
of the exotic, their otherness, and their enjoyment. Like all good new
circus, it had humour, drama, and good fun, it was a little bit
sinister, a little bit silly and a little bit scary. I enjoyed it
thoroughly.

mid air - just like Saturn - only more sexy!
